Remaining schedule for the top 4:

_____________________________________________________________________________________________
The Suns look to win their 10th straight (6th straight on road, 13th of the last 15th on the road) and at the same time hand the Pistons their 10th straight loss. The Suns would also reach 50 wins, become 4-0 on this roadtrip and tie for the 2 seed if the Jazz lose to the Lakers. Basically a must win.

There is no doubt in my mind that on paper this is the easiest game on the EC roadtrip but a W is not enough, we must limit our guys minutes. This is the 3rd game in 4 nights and to stand a chance from a fatigue point of view tomorrow against the Bucks it is mandatory that nash & hill play as few minutes as possible.

Only 7 games remaining so let's start this month on a good note!

I've always liked the Pistons. Hopefully we improve their draft pick.

7 games left in april, its like a playoff series. If they go atleast 4-3 then they put themselves in an amazing position to move up to 3rd, maybe even 2nd. If they have a losing record this month then they would fall, maybe really far to like 7th or 8th even.

They need to atleast split this b2b then they're in good position.

No, Dallas has the tie-breaker so we'll be 3rd.

Detroit wants a better pick, we want better playoff positioning. Win Win. I expect lots of minutes for lots of young pistons

They are playing the Bobcats tonight. Raymond Felton and DJ Augustin should wear Brandon Jennings down somewhat.
Last game we faced the Bucks Suns were up by 21 at one point. However, they did comeback mostly because of their bench production of Hakim Warrick and Luke Ridnour. Hakim Warrick scored 21 and grabbed 10 rebounds off the bench. They no longer have Hakim Warrick and instead got John Salmons, who the Suns have a few guys to match up with him. The only problem I see the Suns having is Andrew Bogut, but in turn he'll have a tough assignment either guarding Amare in the paint, or Frye around the arc, either way he should get abused.

I think the Pistons are tanking so I don't see how they can lose this one, especially with a tough game comming up tommorow...

Lol, why do you guys think the Bucks are such a good team? They're terrible... they 41-33. 31 of those wins are within their conference.

They're garbage, and will get blown out for the Suns 11th straight win.
The Phoenix Suns - 54-28. Projected Record: 54-28 3rd Seed

The Phoenix Suns - 2010-2011 Projected Record: 30-52 3rd lottery pick.

Fatigue will be our worst enemy in that game, especially if our starters minutes aren't limited tonight.
